Starting out on a cold morning I get this howling noise (only way I can describe it). It starts out low and goes higher and then goes back down slowly, it may do this a couple to several times until it finally stops. I am guessing until it gets warm. This morning it it kept going for a while. It doesn't seem to interfere with performance. Not knowing what it might be it concerns me.

Let's start with seeing if you can get a recording of this noise? Next when does this do it? Sitting still? Moving? What speed? Does the noise get faster or slower as you drive? Is there a way you can make it change?

Sorry for all the questions but we are going to need some more info to go on before we can determine what direction to go.

Here is a guide that covers howling noises but I am not sure this fits your issue:

Let us know this info and we can go from there. Thanks
